I read reports, no idea if they were true or not, that after California banned the 50 Cal rifles Barrett Pointed out that none of them had ever been used in the commission of a crime, and that numerous law-enforcement agencies in California owned the 50 Cal rifles. And since they were going to be illegal legal for civilians, they would no longer provide parts or any support for any law-enforcement agencies that owned them.
It was a stupid law by a stupid governor. Arnie the RAT was virtue signaling to liberals. I was living in kali at the time. When arnie was running for gov I remember seeing an interview where he said one thing he was going to do was to close the gun show loophole. That idiot didn't even know there was no gun show "loophole" in kali. All gun sales already had to go through an FFL.
